One word of warning about PBIS: It had (has?) a really fun bug with large 
domains. One of our domains has well over half a million objects, and at about 
512k, it started using duplicate UIDs (so that multiple users had the same *nix 
UID). I think this is documented, but it's a small and easy-to-overlook thing.

In fairness, this was a couple years back, and it's possible they've resolved 
this issue by now. Just a subtle thing to look out for.

Our *nix stuff is almost exclusively Red Hat. For RHEL6, we're using Centrify, 
and it was pretty simple to set up. For RHEL7, we'll likely just use the realmd 
stuff they provide, as for our simple use case it seems adequate.
